AC Milan midfielder Nigel De Jong believes Ajax will pose a similar threat to that of PSV as the Rossoneri prepare to take on the Dutch side on Tuesday night in Champions League action.

After a 2-0 victory against Celtic last week, the Rossoneri are currently joint top of Group H with Barcelona, who beat Ajax 4-0 at the Camp Nou.

The Rossoneri defeated PSV Eindhoven in the preliminary round of the Champions League, and De Jong is hopeful that the Diavolo will have similar success against Ajax.

“Ajax will be more or less the same as PSV, so I expect pretty much the same type of match,” said the Dutch midfielder.

“They are young and have a lot of courage, so we will have to be careful.”

Milan will welcome back Mario Balotelli as his three-match ban only applies to Seria A, however Stephan El Shaarawy is out after sufferingsuffering a microfracture in his foot during training on Monday.

De Jong joined the Rossoneri from Manchester City in the summer of 2012 and has since scored one goal in 24 appearances for the Italian club.
